LOT-EK, l’un des studios d’architecture les plus visionnaires et appréciés, réinvente depuis plus de 30 ans le conteneur maritime, ainsi que d’autres déchets de notre économie industrialisée, comme matériaux pour des espaces architecturaux et artistiques uniques. Par leur démarche créative pure, ils sont devenus des prophètes de la réutilisation adaptative, de la construction écologique et de la beauté inattendue. WE START WITH THE THINGS WE FIND est une enquête en long-métrage sur leur pratique provocante et une prescription contre les maux de notre société hyper-consumériste.
